He identified himself on Twitter as he broadcast the attack (our video shows the moments before the attack)
Footage has emerged of the moment one of the New Zealand mosque attackers opened fire as it is revealed one of the attackers was an Australian right-winger with anti-immigrant views.
The Australian Prime Minister described Brenton Tarrant as an ‘extremist, right-wing, violent terrorist’ He said Australian security authorities were investigating any links between the country and the attack, but declined to provide further details about the Australian gunman. ‘It is such a sad and devastating reminder of the evil that can be ever-present about us,’ Morrison said of the attacks.
Authorities have not elaborated on who they detained. But a man who claimed responsibility for the shootings left a 74-page anti-immigrant manifesto in which he explained who he was and his reasoning for his actions. Bush said the defence force had defused a number of improvised explosive devices that were attached to vehicles stopped after the attacks.
